FEDERAL HILL has some cha-cha-cha-changes—Ok, ready? Funky Beehive closed, Billabong Australian Pub Closed--Now the biggie—Executive Chef Patrick Morrow and General Manager Jorbie Clark of Ryleigh’s Oyster plan to open up their own shingle called Bluegrass. The location for the new Bluegrass Restaurant is 1500 S Hanover Street. Originally the spot that once housed THE VINE, was planned to open as AVERY'S PEARL.
